And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:11 Go To Ephesians 5
Jerome
AD 420
No one is prepared to admonish sinners except one who does not deserve to be called a hypocrite [as with the account in Lk :]…. Only those prophets who were themselves unpolluted by any stain of sin were in a position to upbraid others for their wrongdoing. From this we learn that the one who is in the best position to reprimand is the one who cannot himself rightly be reprimanded in turn. .
